If you want a crime drama that treats its mystery as more than a puzzle, Taboo is available in the US on fuboTV and Peacock Premium, and in the UK on Netflix and Sky Go right now. A compact run that never overstays its welcome. 1,490 viewers have already rated it on TMDB — the kind of consensus that does not happen by accident. Tom Hardy anchors it, but the writing does the real work. There is no real reason to keep putting it off — it is right there on fuboTV.

There is a reason Taboo keeps coming up in conversation. The plotting in Taboo is tight enough that the twists feel earned rather than assembled. Adventurer James Keziah Delaney returns to London from Africa in 1814 along with fourteen stolen diamonds to seek vengeance after the death of his father. Tom Hardy and David Hayman lead a cast that never lets the mystery feel thin. It was aired in 2017. What distinguishes the best crime dramas from the rest is whether the character work can carry scenes where the mystery takes a breath — Taboo passes that test consistently. It rarely drops the ball, and when it does, it recovers fast.

If you cannot walk away from a good mystery, Taboo will keep you hooked. Fans of Miss Scarlet will recognise the sensibility here immediately. A contained run means every episode is doing real work. Tom Hardy carries scenes that would sink a lesser production. The resolution feels inevitable rather than arbitrary, which is rarer than it sounds.

Taboo wrapped up in 2017, created by Steven Knight, Chips Hardy and Tom Hardy — and 1 season is available to watch from start to finish.
